Mental Mindset

This one is huge. Without the right attitude, nothing good will happen. Growing your real estate business will not happen without the right mindset. One of my mentors, Jefferson Santos said that “our attitude will determine our altitude”.  So true. It is truly hard to achieve greatness on talent alone. You may do it for a time, but will likely fall- think how many Hollywood and professional athletes have fallen because of their attitude. Inspect what you expect. 

 

What do I do when I wake up? I praise God, thanking Him for allowing me to see another day. One of my pastors Richard Alawaye used to say often we are not guaranteed tomorrow so what will we do with today. One thing my wife said when we were courting is that the present IS a present. All of that is so true.

 

The next thing is I have a quiet time. For me, that is completing a devotional in the Youversion Bible app. Sometimes I do several. Proverbs and Psalms in particular have many applications for business. I usually have one that I do with my wife separately and then we compare our notes to one another. 

 

Another option is to listen to something positive. Jim Rohn,Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, etc are all great choices to get you started. Then read at least ten pages of a book. Not sure what to read? Do a Google search for the top business books of all time and get started. 

 

When you are having an off day, make sure you focus on what is working and not only on what isn’t. My wife often asks me what my 5gs are- and she doesn’t mean cell phone coverage lol. It is a thing for us and our kids (although they can be resistant). Picking out five things on the fly you are grateful for will immediately redirect your thoughts to more positive things and likely increase your serotonin levels.
